    Waterton Academy Trust is seeking an outstanding candidate to join our team in the new role as Director of Standards, ideally starting from September 2024 (or sooner). The position of Director of Standards will be a pivotal role in enhancing leadership development, providing critical support, and offering strategic challenge to our headteachers.

The successful candidate will be enthusiastic, motivated, and will significantly contribute to the Trust's ongoing growth and development.
